Objectives To investigate the ability of T1 mapping and intravoxel incoherent motion imaging (IVIM) parameters for evaluating renal allografts at the early stage after renal transplantation. Methods This prospective study protocol was approved by the local ethics committee, and written informed consent was obtained from all subjects. Sixty two recipients 2 to 4 weeks after kidney transplantation and 20 healthy volunteers (control group) underwent routine MRI, T1 mapping, and IVIM imaging (11 b values, 0 to 700 s/mm2). Recipients were divided into two groups base on their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR):37 recipients with good allograft function (eGFR≥60 ml·min-1·1.73 m-2) and 25 recipients with impaired allograft function (eGFR<60 ml·min-1·1.73 m-2). The ADC, true diffusion coefficient (ADCslow), pseudo-diffusion coefficient (ADCfast), perfusion fraction (f) and T1 values were measured on both cortex and medulla. Differences among groups were compared using the one-way analysis of variance. Correlations between eGFR and the parameters in renal allografts were assessed by using Pearson correlation analysis. ROC was performed to assess the diagnostic utilities of using these parameters to discriminate allografts with impaired function from good function. Results Excepting for cortical T1, ADCfast and medullary T1, f values, allografts with good function showed no differences in other parameters compared with healthy control. Excepting for medullary T1 and ADCfast,the other values showed significantly differences in allografts with impaired function compared to allografts with good function (all P<0.05). Excepting for medullary f and ADCfast values, allografts with impaired function showed significantly differences in the parameters compared with good function group(all P<0.05). In renal allografts, excepting for medullary T1, ADCfast, and f values, cortical T1 exhibited a negative correlation with renal function, and there was a significant positive correlation between eGFR and other parameters. Cortical T1 value showed high sensitivity(91.9%) to discriminate renal allografts with different function, with the threshold of 17.36 × 102 ms, and ADC value showed high specificity(96.0%)with the threshold of 1.98 × 10-3 mm2/s. Conclusion T1 mapping and IVIM technique may be useful for detecting renal allograft dysfunction, and be a reliable imaging for evaluating and monitoring allograft function.

Objective To explore the correlationships between microperfusion diffusion indexes derived from intravoxel incoherent motion(IVIM)and perfusion values measured by arterial spin labeling (ASL)in renal allograft. Methods A total of 76 renal allograft recipients and 26 age-matched volunteers (group 0)were included in this prospective study. All subjects were underwent conventional MRI, IVIM and ASL MRI which were performed in the oblique-sagittal plane. Seventy-six recipients were divided into two groups based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR):recipients with good allograft function(group 1, eGFR≥ 60 ml · min-1 · 1.73m-2,n=44)and recipients with impaired allograft function(group 2, eGFR<60 ml · min-1 · 1.73m-2,n=32). Three IVIM indexes values, including true diffusion coefficient(ADCslow), pseudo-diffusion coef fi cient(ADCfast), perfusion fraction(PF), and one ASL index value of renal cortex(renal blood flow, RBF)were measured. One-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference were used to compare the different of each cortical index values among three groups. Correlations between the ADCslow, ADCfast, PF, RBF and eGFR as well as the correlation among the indexes were evaluated using Pearson correlation coefficients. Results For cortical ADCslow, ADCfast, PF and RBF values, allografts with good function and impaired function showed significantly differences compared healthy controls(all P<0.01). In allografts with good function, cortical ADCslow,ADCfast,PF showed no significantly differences compared with controls(all P>0.05), but RBF value was significantly lower(P<0.05). The ADCslow, ADCfast, PF and RBF values of renal cortex were significantly lower in allografts with impaired function compared to allografts with good function(all P<0.01). In renal allografts, there were significant positive correlations between cortical ADCslow, ADCfast, PF, RBF value and eGFR(r values were 0.604, 0.552, 0.579 and 0.673, all P<0.01). Cortical ADCfast and PF value exhibited a significant correlation with RBF for recipients(r values were 0.501 and 0.423, all P<0.01). Conclusion Cortical ADCfast and PF values derived from IVIM and RBF measured by ASL show a significant positive correlation in renal allografts.
